ing Remarkable Letter.
From the Albany, N. y, Express.
For many years my wife had been the
victim of nervous dyspepsia, of the chron-
ic, distressing and apparently incurable
type from which SO many of her sex suf-
fer, languish and die. 1t was all the
worse because the.tendency to it was in
herited. She had been under the syste-
matte treatment of many of the best
physicians in New York and Brooklyn
and elsewhere for twenty years with only
temporary relief. In fact, there were
few, if any, kinds of food that did not
distress her, SO diseased, sensitive and
torpid were all the organs of digestion.
The usual symptoms of dyspepsia, with
its concomitant ailments, were all present
bad taste in the mouth, dull eyes, cold
feet and hands, the sense of load upon
the stomach, tenderness on pressure, in
digestion, giddiness, great weakness and
prostration, and fugitive pains in the
sides, chest and back. have often risen
in the night and administered stimulants
merely for the sake of the slight and
transient relief they gave
Intermittent malarial fever set in, COM
plicating the case and making every
symptom more pronounced and intense.
By this time the pneumogastric nerves
had become very seriously involved, and
she had chronic Gastritis, and also what
l may be allowed to call chronic inter-
mittent malarial fever all at once. For
the latter the physicians prescribed the
good ,old-fashioned, sheet-anchor remedy,
Quinine. gradually increasing the doses,
until incredible as it may seem. she actual
ly took THIRTY GRAINS A DAY FOR DAYS IN
SUCCESSION. This could not last. The
effect of the quinine was, if possible, al
most as bad as the two-fold disease which
was wearing away her strength and her
life. Quinine poisoning was painfully
evident, but the fever was there still.
Almost every day there came on the
characteristic chill and racking headache,
followed by the usual weakness and col
lapse. .-
About this time I met socially my
friend Mr.. Norton, q member of the firm
of Chauncey Titus & Company, brokers,
of Albany who, on hearing from me these
facts, said Why, have been through
almost the same thing, and have got oyer
it," What cured you ?" I asked Gag
erly. Kaskine," he said. try it for
your wife" had seen Kaskine adver-
tised, but had no more faith in it than i
had in sawdust, for such a case as hers.
Mrs. Hall had no higher opinion, yet on
the strength of my friend s recommends
ton got bottle and began its use as
directed,
Now recall what I have already said as
to her then condition, and then read what
follows: Under the Kaskine treatment
all the dyspeptic symptoms shoWed instant
improvement, and the daily fever grew
less and soon ceased altogether. Side by
side these diseases vanished, as side by
side they had tortured their victim for
ten years-the dyspepsia alone having,
as l have said, existed for twenty years.
Her appetite improved from week to
week until she could eat and digest the
average food that any well person takes,
without any suffering or Inconvenience.
With renewed assimilation of food came,
of course, steady increase in flesh, I'M
til she now looks like her original self.
She still takes Kaakine occasionally,
but with no real need of it, for she is well.
consider this result a scientific miracle,
and the New Quinine - is entitled to
the credit of it, for from the time she be-
gan with Kaskine she used no other med
icine whatever.
If you think recital of these facts cal
culated to do good you are welcome to
make them public.
